"I have really been loving the conference and am so grateful for the opportunity to learn more—I live in a more rural area and the learning opportunities for nonprofits are so slim," said Amber Lee Henning, Director of Development and Brand Advancement at Homeward Bound of the Grand Valley. "Even with online learning, so many of the virtual conferences and webinars do not put the effort into making them so interactive and engaging. Generosity Xchange is a wonderful resource—thank you for bringing it to us!"
